A Man From The Future is an audio-visual biography of computing pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing, created by Pet Shop Boys in collaboration with Turing biographer Professor Andrew Hodges.
Originally premiered at the BBC Proms in July 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Singers, and narration by Juliet Stevenson, this production has been fully revised and rearranged by Pet Shop Boys and Sven Helbig. The accompanying album was recorded across the UK and Germany, featuring the Manchester Camerata Octet.
This exclusive edition presents the work on two LPs in limited green and orange vinyl, capturing the ambition and innovation of one of history's most influential minds through music and spoken word.
